Congrats! My first Klipsch's were H2's in the early 80's, excellent speakers, know you'll enjoy.

sorry to hear of your loss,our thoughts and prayers are with you.

great to hear your doing fine now....i'm very interested in the treatment you have been receiving...
"on a scale of 1-10, I'm allergic to wasps at about 4 and this is what
put me into the emergency room. I'm about a 6-7 for bees and for
vespids (yellow jackets & hornets) I was probably a 9.999. It was
a very good thing that if I was to be stung, it was done by the SOB
with the lowest reaction score."my wife is about an 18 on your scale.

The only way this could make any difference is if the CD is in such bad shape that the error correction circuitry is having to work a lot and this product allows the laser to better read the data (pits on the substrate).
Snake oil.

Great Story Steven,
It sounds like you were able to get a lot of "Klipsch time" in.
I would love to hear that 7.1 set up, especially with BluRay disks. It also sounds like you had a good and beneficial time at Michaels! It always nice to pick up some needed parts!
Thanks for sharing it,
DennieYeah, great story! Thanks for writing. LaScalas, Khorns and Palladiums..OH MY!

dang, just now found your post....maybe next time.

looks fantastic! congratulations!

so the moral of the story is to become large-breasted?
i'm unable to poke any holes into your theorum..

generally, you will not improve picture clarity (or sound quality) by adding a component into the chain.
but, you can add convenience by being able to switch both audio and vidio with your avr.
if your interested in the convenience aspect, you can pass the lossless audio codecs with hdmi v1.3. are you getting video through the avr and not audio, if so, this may be your issue.
hope this helps..

I'd agree with the above,,,,,, Except, recently, I've noticed that when someone places a starting place that's right about where the product would normally sell for, the item usually expires without a single bid. Most people won't bid on anything without feeling like they can 'Steal' it, Unless they've beel looking for that exact item and cannot find it.Since you asked. Do not use "hidden reserve" auctions with Ebay. They are the most profitable for Ebay and the least profitable for you typically. I suggest you start the auction at your minimum acceptable price. If you think the item will be well received, have a real auction and start it at a buck with no hidden reserve.
It certainly makes no sense at all to pay for a hidden reserve type auction and then reveal to everybody with the reserve is IMHO. Having a hidden reserve also can serve to waste alot of time not selling yet all the while Ebay continues to make theirs.
I feel like when you place a "realistic" starting place, or "reserve", you take away a potential buyer that MAY be persuaded to get into a bidding war and bid the item higher than the minimum reserve, rather than only limiting your market to that One potential buyer.
JMHO
jmho, i don't give a second look to "buy it now" prices or opening bids that are a "realistic starting place". these are not auctions, they are simply an advertisement for an item for sale. when i go to ebay, i want to see an auction.

That stylistic
dynamic plays itself out in less blatant juxtapositions throughout the
rest of the album. "You Don't Understand Me" is a classic power-popper
replete with twinkling piano and smooth, layered vocal harmonies, while
raw garage-rock ... Full Descriptionstomper
"Hold Up" leaps out with almost savage ferocity. The most rewarding
moments may be the ones where White and Benson collaborate to create a
fresh-sounding sonic paradigm, as on "The Switch and the Spur," a
trumpet-punctuated epic that sounds more akin to a
testosterone-enhanced Decemberists than anything else. Ultimately,
White and Benson honor just enough of their respective pasts to ensure
a vital future for the Raconteurs.
From the beginning Jack White
insisted that the Raconteurs were a proper band and not just a White
Stripes side project. The release of CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY, the
second album by the band he co-leads alongside singer-songwriter
Brendan Benson, bears out all parties' commitment to the project. From
the very first cut (the title track), the varied musical personalities
at work here are apparent, as the song moves back and forth between a
streamlined, Benson-sung section and a slower, crunchier blues-rocking
****** of patented White work.
The Raconteurs: Jack White III (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Patrick Keeler (drums, percussion).
Rolling
Stone (p.55) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "CONSOLERS OF THE LONELY comes
together like a blissfully stoned conversation between White and Benson
about their favorite bands: Led Zeppelin, the Who, Badfinger. Each of
them riffs off the other, trading verses and guitar leads on a host of
compelling stories..."
Rolling Stone (p.96) - Ranked #44 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[A]n ecstatic, fully integrated live band..."
Spin
(p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he matchup of White's emotional and
musical volatility and Benson's power-pop jones pays off: 'You Don't
Understand Me' plays like a long-lost, bitter Badfinger outtake."
Spin
(p.47) - Ranked #35 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "'Hold Up'
and 'Salute Your Solution' are blistering rockers served well by an
actual rhythm section..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.61) - "The
Raconteurs hitch country and long-haired funk to a boisterous
blooze-rock wagon with nary a nod to subtlety or art-school cool." --
Grade: B+
Uncut (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he way that it
spans dynamic radio rock, affecting urban blues, garage stompers and
blatant Who worship renders it rich enough to be remembered..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "Loaded with 1970's guitar slinging bravado, it's a red-blooded rock and roll album..."
Pitchfork
(Website) - "[With] big hooks and bigger guitars, stuffed arrangements,
and plenty of instrumental shock and awe....[A]nother loose,
comfortable affirmation of what they do well."

Having good luck filling in my collection from ebay. I would recommend buying some cd cases in bulk if you buy used, they usually are in bad shape.

Go slowly and carefully. I just finished sanding and staining my La Scalas. Started off with 100 grit to remove the existing finish, then worked my way to 260 grit. Used a wipe on stain and two coats of eurathane to lightly seal them. I am very happy with the results, not factory perfect but very presentable. Caution is the key. All the best.
wonderful job old. those turned out great.

A few months back I got into an argument with a Verizon rep over a contract/billing issue. I withheld payment and demanded to speak with a supervison. They told me that no supervisor was available- they would have someone contact me. No one ever did and my service was immediately disconnected as soon as it it hit the past due column incurring a series or reconnection charges- 15.00 per phone. Long story short- I have had several conversations with the low dollar customer service morons- there is no notation of these conversations on my account history. So today I said the heck with it- I told them I would just pay the disputed amount and change carriers. I am not under contract- I have had this service for 3 years. So now they are telling me that i Am under contract until Jan 2010 because of a "free phone" that I received a while back when my other POS died. I still have the box and the recipt showing where I paid 320.00 for the phone specifically as not to extend my contract obligation. I feel sure that I will prevail as I have the papers in my posession. We have some really smart people on this forum so maybe somebody has an idea of how to voice my complaints or report these jerks in a manner hat will cause them trouble. Suggestions??
Suggestions??
your only weapon is to cancel service.
